    ROMs are data copies of games, usually older games that were available on cartridges, like Super Nintendo or Sega Megadrive games.
    Their purpose is to be played on a computer, because the old systems aren't available. To play a ROM you'll need an emulator of the right platform.

    For emulators, go to <a href="http://www.zophar.net">Zophar's Domain</a>.

    Why would you need roms? You can already illegally download computer cames as they are.

    NOOO! now the evil robots will come to your home and destroy your computer!!

    just kidding.

    but yeah, in pretty much every forum ive been too, theyve explicitly stated not to give out locations of roms to people, or asking for them in posts. just sos ya know. ive seen people asked not too here, so i would assume its the same...

    but yeah, if ya google search for roms, you should find em. (any site with "rom" , "emu" "emulator" in its address may be a hint.)

    as for emulators, for nes, i use fce ultra, and for snes, i use zsnes. for gba, i use visualboyadvance. those are just what i like to use. some people use nnesterj for nes, and snes9x for snes. all the above seem to be the most popular choice for emulators.

    We cant really post sites we know of to show roms because EoFF use to host ROMs I believe, told that it wasn't allowed by Sony and now they got this informal policy to do away with piracy. Emulators are legal, ROMs, are not.

    ROMs are legal, provided you either own the original cartridge, or delete the ROM within 24 hours. Having said that, you're still not allowed to provide them or directions to them via this forum, which does include PMs.

    Isnt' that more of an urban legend? Well, the deleting in 24 hours.

    I would think people would have just made that up to make them feel better for dling them at all xD

    I don't think its legend since most sites say that if you don't own the original delete in 24 hours.

    You can own a ROM if you have the original. The 24 hour thing is just a payoff for people who want to download the game but don't have the cartridge. It's still copyrighted no matter what, and it doesn't tak 24 hours to become copyrighted if you have a pirated version. Similar is like downloading movies on your computer.
